The ideal zoom for landscapes and much more. All purpose almost.
Versatility for landscapes is the primary reason I plan to buy this zoom.
Excellent quality, assuming they have got their testing right: " This is a remarkably high level of performance, and it is worth noting that our MTF50 graph had to be extended to accommodate some of the higher figures, the first time that this has happened with any lens. ..."
John Riley has been shooting with the Nikkor Z 24-120mm F/4 S lens on the very capable Nikon Z7 II camera body to find out how good its performance is.

At 24mm, central sharpness is outstanding from f/4 to f/11, excellent at f/16 and very good at f/22. The edges are excellent from f/4 to f/8, very good at f/11 and f/16 and only soften at f/22.
At 35mm, central sharpness is again outstanding from f/4 through to f/11, very good at f/16 and good at f/22. The edges are excellent from f/4 to f/11, very good at f/16 and good at f/22.
At 70mm, central sharpness is outstanding at f/4, excellent from f/5.6 to f/11, very good at f/16 and good at f/22. The edges are excellent from f/4 to f/11, very good at f/16 and good at f/22.
At 120mm, central sharpness is excellent from f/4 to f/11, very good at f/16 and good at f/22. The edges are excellent from f/4 to f/11, very good at f/16 and good at f/22.
This is a remarkably high level of performance, and it is worth noting that our MTF50 graph had to be extended to accommodate some of the higher figures, the first time that this has happened with any lens.
